Netflix is preparing to say goodbye to a massive batch of titles next month, with some of the streaming service's fan favourites are on the chopping block

NETFLIX'S MASSIVE CULL: FAVOURITE TITLES TO DISAPPEAR FROM STREAMER BY THE END OF NOVEMBER

The streamer has confirmed that over 50 movies and series will be leaving their platform by November 30th, and we've got the scoop on who's going with them.

THE LIST OF LOST LOVELIES

Iconic teen comedy Mean Girls, which first hit the silver screen in 2004, will be one of the first to bow out, on November 2, alongside heist film Now You See Me

Mean Girls (2004) - Ah, remember when Regina George ruled the halls of North Shore High School? This iconic teen comedy is one of the first to go, vanishing from Netflix on November 1st. Don't worry, though - you still have a few weeks to perfect your Burn Book.

SPY GAMES AND ACTION TITLES TO BE REMOVED

Mission Impossible will be the next spy blockbuster franchise to leave Netflix, along with Pineapple Express (2008) and Four Brothers (2005). It's time to say goodbye to Ethan Hunt and his team of espionage experts.
